Hi. I have a problem with high blood pressure. I am 4 months pregnant and I am not supposed to take any meds. I have heard about grape seed extract. Is it safe for my condition?
Hi. No, pregnant and breastfeeding women are not supposed to take grape seed extract. Grape seed extract has a potential effect on fetuses and babies. Besides, grape seed extract has its` side effects, such as cough, headache and nausea. I have also heard grape seed extract can treat high blood pressure. Grape seed extract is a med herb used to treat arthritis, bruises, gum disease, ulcers, etc. I think grape seed extract is safe enough, but if you are pregnant better not to take it. I heard green tea capsules are good for high blood pressure, ask your doc about it.
